49ers return game: Putting the "special" in special teams

San_francisco_49ers_77af
Hopefully nobody takes offense to "special."  I came close to posting a short bus graphic because that's how far Brandon Jones and Arnaz Battle have pushed me.  As ugly as yesterday's game was, the biggest momentum change aside from Gore's fumble...

Seattle Seahawks 20, San Francisco 49ers 17

St_louis_rams_7646
The 49ers probably should have won this game yesterday but they decided to give it away instead.  Alex Smith played well  completing 27 of 45 passes for 310 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs.  Frank Gore only rushed for 25 yards on 9 carries (2.8 ypc) and he also caught 5 passes for [...]

Alex Smith, Frank Gore, and the 49ers offensive philosophy

We all agree that yesterday's loss was about as brutal as they come.  Throw in a Cardinals win to push us to the precipice of playoff elimination, and the time is fast approaching for us to start peaking ahead to the offseason and beyond.  I certainly am not ready to...

QB Smith gives a winning effort in losing cause

Chicago_bears_v_9e3d
SEATTLE - Since becoming the 49ers' No. 1 quarterback once again 6 1/2 games ago, the only thing Alex Smith has not done is win, at least not consistently. In six starts, he's 2-4, the latest being Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle. The way the game unfolded,...

Uneven game for Davis

Seattle_seahawks_v_87ba
For a player with legitimate Pro Bowl aspirations, Vernon Davis had an uneven game Sunday. He had a single-game high in receiving yards with 111 on six receptions and established a 49ers team record for a tight end with his 10th touchdown catch of the...

I'm sure we can add more numbers to those that contributed to this loss, but a fumble by Frank, a fumble by Brandon Jones and a dropped touchdown by Vernon Davis get credit for this loss.

Halftime Check-in: San Francisco at Seattle

With San Francisco favoring the spread/shot gun set like they did last week against the Jaguars, Frank Gore has had a quiet day, but his 49ers remain right in the thick of things in Seattle against the Seahawks. Tight end Vernon Davis has been the main reason for that, as he has 82...
